Help with Netgear router please :)

Heya.

I was cursed with the feared "last-square-won't-load"-problem, and thought that it would be an easy fix with a few opened ports here and there. I don't think foy myself as a noob in networking, but this is a problem I can't handle :/

Anyway, I got packet losses - lots of them. It all goes splendidly fine if I connect straight through modem > computer, and go around the router, but that pisses off the other users on the wlan/lan :x

So, the problem lies within the router. I have got an FWG114P Netgear one, and have opened up lots of ports for other apps and games, but Ryzom just doesn't want to work.

I've tried opening up:

UDP 47851 to 47860 to both WAN(any) and WAN (213.208.119.0-213.208.119.255)
TCP 40916 (login/patch) to WAN(any)
TCP 43434 (patch) to WAN(any) and WAN)130.117.80.5)
TCP 48851 to 48860 to WAN(any) and WAN(213.208.119.0-213.208.119.255)

These are all outgoing. I have tried opening the same ports up for ingoing (all of them went WAN(any) > local.IP) but that didn't make a difference :/

Can anyone write their complete Ryzom port configuration on a similiar Netgear router? (i.e: Service: NAME1, 47851-47860 UDP. Rule: Outgoing local.IP > xxx.xxx.xx.x) Any info at all would be great :)

Cheers

you seem to have the same ones listed as in my netgear router, have you installed the latest firmware recently?

is it only ryzom or do you get packet loss on other things like internet speed tests too?

Downloaded the latest firmware just to be sure, but nothing changed :/

Now that you mention it it's very likely I get packet losses on internet speed tests too. I never go above 6mbit/s according to the tests, but I can download up to 1.8Mb/s with a little luck.

So, what would one do if there's a general packet-loss? Open for ideas :)

Cheers

Edit:

Tried ~~20 or so random ips from large sites here in Sweden, but didn't see any packet loss on those sites. Is it possible it has something to do with UDP only?
